Jewels is performed in tribute to the memory of Jay S. Fishman, NYCB Chairman from 2012-2016
Program Notes
JEWELS
Jewels, a work in three parts choreographed by George Balanchine, was inspired by a visit to famed jewelers Van Cleef and Arpels. Balanchine selected emeralds, rubies, and diamonds for his parure, having also considered pearls and sapphires. But Jewels is really not so much about gems as about illuminating the music of its three different composers: Fauré for Emeralds, Stravinsky for Rubies, and Tschaikovsky for Diamonds. While Jewels has been considered the first three-act story-less ballet, each section is quite distinct in style, with the jewel motif sustained by Karinska’s costumes and the décor.
EMERALDS
The music for Emeralds is taken from the respective concert suites that Gabriel Fauré derived from the incidental music he composed in 1889 for Edmond Haraucourt’s Shylock, a French verse adaptation of Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice, and in 1898 for Maurice Maeterlinck’s Pelléas et Mélisande. The order of the numbers used and their sources are as follows: “Prélude,” “Fileuse,” “Sicilienne” (all from Pelléas et Mélisande); “Entr’acte,” “Nocturne,” “Epithalame,” “Final” (all from Shylock); and “La Mort de Mélisande” (from Pelléas et Mélisande). Balanchine added the “Nocturne” pas de deux and the final pas de sept in 1976.
RUBIES
Igor Stravinsky composed his three-movement Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra, the music for Rubies, in 1928-29. He intended it as a vehicle for his own appearances as a concert pianist and as something of a relief from his Concerto for Piano and Wind Instruments, which he had written five years before for the same purpose. The Capriccio is, in effect, a second piano concerto. Stravinsky said that as he wrote this score he had in mind Carl Maria von Weber, a composer he championed; in fact, he quotes Weber in the music. Another of Stravinsky’s enthusiasms that affects the Capriccio is the cimbalom. Figurations typical of this east European instrument are in evidence at various places in the solo piano part—in certain repeated notes and in the cadenza in the second movement, for example. Balanchine set the second movement as a pas de deux for the principal dancers, and they and a soloist dance with the corps de ballet in various combinations in the outer movements.
DIAMONDS
Balanchine choreographed Diamonds to Peter Ilyitch Tschaikovsky’s Symphony No. 3 in D major, Op. 29. Tschaikovsky composed this work in 1875, just before starting to write Swan Lake. It is the only one of his six symphonies in a major key, and it is the only one to have five movements, for it has two scherzos setting off the central Andante elegiaco. Balanchine, however, decided to omit the symphony’s first movement, deeming it unsuitable for dancing.
About New York City Ballet
New York City Ballet is one of the foremost dance companies in the world, with an unparalleled active repertory of more than 150 works—most of them created for NYCB—many of which are considered modern masterpieces. The Company was established in 1948 by choreographer George Balanchine and arts aficionado Lincoln Kirstein at the City Center of Music and Drama, and quickly became known for pure neo-classicism, which resonated with modern audiences.
